HOLDER'FQR CURTAINS AND CURTAIN-RODS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,060, dated July 15,1884 Applicationfiled December 11, 1883. (No model.) i i To all whom itmay concern Be it known that I, J osEPH VAAS, a subject of the Emperorof Germany, and residing ing is a specification.

This invention relates to adjustable bracketholders for curtain polesand rods, whereby they may, without unfixing fro'mthe wall or window, bereadily adapted for poles and curtains of different dimensions.

The invention relates, further, to adjustable holders or knobs used forlooping up or draping the curtains; and it consists in a means of fixingthe same, whereby they may be changed or fixed in different positionswithout injury to the wall in removing and refixing.

My improvements are represented. in the accompanying drawings, in whichFigures 1 to 5 represent several views of my adjustable bracket-holderfor curtain poles and rods.

Figs. 6, 7 represent my adjustable curtainknob. a

My improved bracket-holder consists, essentially, of a back plate orwall-plate,A, (see Figs. 1 and 2,) slotted and chambered; so astoreceive a flat-headed bracketrarm, B, and

allow the fiat head of the bracket-arm B to slidealong the plate fromend to end inorder to adjust it to the required position. These plates Aare so fixed by suitable screws, a, at

either side of the window at the proper height,

the adjustment above described enabling the bracket-holders B, whichhold the hooks C, to

be shifted laterally, to suit the curtain pole or rod without unfiXingthe back or wall plate,

A. This headed bracketarmBis made tubular or grooved to form a socketfor or receive the stem of the hook or holder 0, which car-. ries thecurtain pole or rod, and to admit-of the same being slid in and out foradjusting the length of the bracket-arm as required. Thistelescopicallysliding portion of the bracket is prevented from turningin its socket or supporting-arm, either by a thumb-screw, D, working ina longitudinal slot, E, in the socket or arm B, or else 'by beingprovided with. feathers e, working in corresponding grooves within thearm B. The screw D is also employed to hold the hooks O in whateverposition they may have been adjusted. Fig. 1 represents theabove-described construction partly in section, and Fig. 2 is aperspective view'of the same arrangement.

' In Fig.3 a sliding hook is represented, constructed so as to receive around curtain-pole within its rounded'hook F.

Figs. 4 and 5 represent, the first in side eleva- 'tion, partly insection, and the second in a front view, a'further variation inconstruction, in which the hook-bar 0 slides within a groove on the topof the bracket-arm B, in place of within the said arm, as beforedescribed. In this construction the bracket-arm B is-provided with aslot, E, through which the shank of the thumb-screw D passes, serving th'ame purpose as before described. K

Figs. 6 and 7 represent my improved arrangements to enable the sideholders or knobs used-in draping the curtains to be unfixed and refixed'or changed to suit the curtains without injuryto the wall. Wood blocks Gare let into the wall,and metal plates h screwed thereto, said plateshaving holes in them tapped to receive the stems of the screws J, withwhich the holders or knobs H are provided, so that the latter can bereadily fixed and unfiXed by merely screwing their stems in and out ofthe fixed plates or; nuts without injuring the wall or its decorations.J

Having. thus described my, invention and the manner of operating thesame, I claim 1. The combination of the plate A, having a horizontalslot, with the arm or-socket B adapted thereto, and the hook or holder0, adapted to be adjusted in said arm or socket B, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination of a block, G, carrying a screw-threaded plate, h,with a knob, H, having a threaded stem, J, adapted to be screwed intosaid plate, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
